Update on SFSU Hearing
San Francisco State University went forward on Friday with its trial of the College Republicans for the (constitutionally protected) “offense” of stepping on drawings of the Hamas and Hezbollah flags during an anti-terrorism rally. According to College Republican Leigh Wolf, who represented his organization at the hearing, it was more or less a complete mockery of justice. The hearing panel should be delivering its decision within 10 days, and we hope to have a recording of the hearing available on our site within a day or two. We will keep you posted.
